Farewell is undoubtedly the most interesting event in the school. I have been waiting for this event. I wanted to perform a dance in front of everyone. I didn’t knew how to dance, I had never danced in front of many people. I was too shy. Learning many dances was a challenge for me.
| LO2- Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process |
Dancing was always a challenge for me, remembering different dance step was one of the biggest challenge I faced. I performed in 4 dances which were of approx 2-3 min. There were many complicated step which were very much difficult for me to learn. I overcome this challenge by practicing each and every day. Performing the dances in front of mirror helped me to self evaluate my performance. Gesture are very much important in dance, it makes the performance better. My gesture were very bad as I was not confident due to which my gesture were weak. Practicing in front of mirror helped me to improve my gesture. I practiced each and every day for 2-3 weeks, I made progress and I overcome the challenges to learn a new skill.
LO 4 – Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experience
Taking time from my schedule was very difficult. I had to go to practiced each and every day. I had to miss my tuitions, gym session and sometimes family dinners. Despite everythings. I showed commitment toward learning the dance. In the last week of the farewell, I also missed school slots to learn and rehearsed for the dance. Even though I struggles a lot, I didn’t give up and kept on working hard to improve my skills.
LO 5- Demonstrate the skills and recognize the benefits of working collaboratively.
There were 2 group dances where we had to make pairs, dancing with them helped me to improve my social skills. Collaboration skills and social skills were the skills I developed. Trusting our partner and performing together helped me to improve my collaborative skills. I collaborated with many teacher, students which helped me to improve my social skills. The benefits of working collaboratively in a group is we improve our social skills, communication skills. We get to know each other strength and weakness, help each other to improve their weakness and overcome the challenges they face.
To sum up, I always wanted to learn how to dance, farewell was a opportunity. I am very happy that I took this opportunity and I am very happy that I learned a new skill.
